it's a category one hurricane, why are they saying it could be more damaging than katrina. well, it's not just the area that it's going to impact. we're talking about an area of low pressure stronger than we've ever seen before. what happened is a very powerful nor'easter merged with the hurricane. what i want to talk about is the actual low pressure. so when you traditionally have a hurricane, you're talking about 970, 980 millibars. that's how low the pressure will fall. we are talking about appear area of low pressure down to 946 millibars. that's a measurement of energy. so basically that means this thing is packing a triple whammy. we're expecting a very, very high storm surge, anywhere in the area of 7 to 11 feet. that means the water will be sitting 7 to 11 feet higher than it traditionally does on the coast. we're also talking about treacherous rainfall and very, very damaging winds. a prolonged period of maybe 12 to 24 hours of battering winds potentially taking down trees, taking out power lines. that's why we're expecting outages. that's why we're talking about s
